[quote=Anonymous]My oldest has HFA. He is frequently difficult and unpleasant to be around. As much as I can, I take those times to help him reshape his behavior to something more socially appropriate. He doesn't want to be a jerk. He just doesn't know how to act and he doesn't know how to learn behavior from observation. I am not 100% successful with this strategy. Sometimes I just want to drink wine in the bathtub and be left alone. :lol: Constistenly reshaping bad behavior into appropriate behavior is exhausting. He's going to 13 soon, though and it is having very positive outcomes for him. I feel good about that. I also feel like I've been parenting a toddler for the past 11-13 years. [/quote]
